Thought I'd reach out to this resourceful crew of people in the boating world to see if anyone can help me find some grating for my ramp, stair treads, etc. I've seen the product I like at a few docks / marinas around BC over the years but I'm having a tough time tracking down a local...

Hey guys, Lots of experienced boaters on here so hoping someone knows the middle arm well and doesn't mind sharing some navigation tips. I plan to do several fishing trips out of Richmond to Sandheads, T10, North Arm and would prefer to save some time/gas by taking the Middle Arm of the...

Anyone have one of these on their boat? Reviews? Too big for my little boat but I'd imagine it would be pretty nice for those west coast guys anchored up for halibut and dealing with the swell all day. https://www.psf.ca/news-media/bluewater-rigging-donates-seakeeper-annual-gala Bluewater...

I know there are countless examples of how the fish farming industry in BC has misled or outright lied about their industry impacts but here is a recent PR lie that is so blatant that it should give even the staunchest fish farm apologist a reason to pause. It's a classic PR campaign designed...

Here are a few excerpts from the mandate letters to some of the new BC Ministers who will be making decisions related to fish conservation and fishing opportunities, etc. I know Premiere Horgan spoke at an SFI event a couple of years ago that I attended and being an island guy he did some...

Anyone else signed up for the 2017 Vancouver Chinook Classic? Should be another fun event with some serious cash prizes! They have a new covered deck at the hotel as well that looks pretty sweet and I think they're hosting most of the event there. Good catch and release derby and supports...

Hey guys, hoping some of the more creative/handy forum members can help me clarify my options to build a boat haul-out at my cabin in the gulf islands. I want to be able to periodically take my boat out of the water in order to fix/clean/paint/store it. I'd like to get it far enough out of the...

Recently got some really cool updated stats (from contact at @Pacific Salmon Foundation) on WHERE chinook that are caught in Area 1 (Northern Haida Gwaii) ORIGINATE from. These are fish that are caught by participating lodges who then take genetic samples to be analyzed at DFO's lab in Nanaimo...

I just posted the quick report below in the Vancouver section but we should have a seperate Gulf Islands Reports thread as we did last year since there's not a ton of Vancouverites making the trip across on a regular basis (other than May/June fishery). I've heard decent fishing reports recently...
